Check out Zelda Link’s Awakening, in Minecraft!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=806UifAYQGo&feature=channel_video_title[/youtube] Minecraft is a pretty amazing game. Now if only I had the creativity and the the tine to create something like opening cutscene for Link’s Awakening with the building blocks available in the game. Has any Infendo reader been able to create any Nintendo themed levels in Minecraft? Personally, I tried...
Want to learn how to play Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koAKIPrJrLA&feature=channel_video_title[/youtube] Despite being a spin-off of a franchise that hasn’t been good for years (yeah, I went there), I can’t help but be excited about the Final Fantasy rhythm title Theatrhythm. Square-Enix has released a new trailer for the title to help everyone understand exactly how the games mechanics work, and...
What do you think of this new Zelda Skyward Sword gameplay trailer?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFuDyJ-7N54[/youtube] It’s in Japanese, but there are some nice visual effects. I totally want to jump in that water fountain.
More portable developers defecting from Nintendo
Here’s another sign that developers are doubting the 3DS’s future as a mobile gaming device: Long-time Nintendo second party developer Level-5 has announced they’ll start porting and/or shifting development to iOS devices. Ouch. Could this be one last hooray?
My original DS is ready for another round
Thirteen months ago, I posted an article praising my old fat blue DS and its incredible durability; I never felt a need to buy another portable until 3DS arrived. I was certain, at the time, that the then-new Professor Layton and the Unwound Future would be the last game I played on Ol’ Blue before I put the venerable, aging handheld out to pasture. Over a year later, Ol’ Fat Blue stil...
Which OTHER games are you looking forward to in 2011?
Most of us are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Zelda and Mario (on foot and kart) as the Holidays approach. Are any less-discussed 2011 games on your radar? I have a very short list, all on DS or 3DS, and all but one come with a big IF…. Professor Layton and the Last Specter (Oct. 17) — This one’s an instant buy for me. Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights (Dec. 6) —...
Amid massive infighting, Infendo Radio canceled this week
INFENDO HEADQUARTERS’ Egos collided last night as Infendo Radio personnel fought and bickered over minor programming notes. “Blake is such a tool,” said a visibly distraught and out of breath Derek. “I just had to punch him. If there’s one thing I won’t tolerate, it’s a difference of opinion.” When asked how the vulgar display of power affected this week...
One of DS’s most beloved franchises just hit iPhone. Can Nintendo recapture the casual gaming market? Should they even try?
Scribblenauts Remix, a “best of” blend of DS’s two well-reviewed Scribblenauts releases (plus some new levels), just hit the App Store for $4.99. And it’s awesome–one of the strongest titles in the iOS library. This is no lazy port of the DS series, but a full-featured entry in the Scribblenauts line, looking sharper than ever and playing brilliantly. So, why bring this up? Beca...
Aliens Infestation keeps getting better
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0_Qp6DjYHc[/youtube] I still haven’t been able to pick this up, so I’m planning on making it a holiday purchase. Aliens: Infestation is one of the few games that makes player death mean something. There are a finite amount of marines in the game, and once one dies, he or she is gone forever. You can reload the game at a previous save point, but ...
What if Mario wasn’t a plumber?
I found this comic from LOLDWELL.com HIGHLY entertaining, but be warned, the rest of it is slightly NSFW. Enjoy!
This is the packaging for the 3DS slide pad add-on
I’m kind of, sort of, maybe warming up to the idea of having one of these attached to my 3DS, but I’m still hurt that Nintendo didn’t include it in it’s initial design. Perhaps I will play the “wait and see” game to find out if the imminent redesign will have double analog support built in. Nevertheless, here is how the Japanese packaging will look when the expansion launc...
